If your pregnant nausea will most likely be on your mind during those early months. I posted a bit on morning sickness earlier and here's some more, cause it's a pretty big issue.

Herbs and remedies:

Pour boiling water over puffed rice, strain and drink (Seriously, this one saved me on many occasions, my Ayurvedic doctor recommended it and it has really really helped)

Chyawanprash is good general tonic during pregnancy

Roast shatavari in an iron pan with ghee, cardomom and date sugar

Soak ten fresh dates in a litre of ghee. Add 1 teaspoon of ginger, 1/8 teaspoon of cardomom and a pinch of saffron. Cover loosely. Keep this in a closed warm space for a week. Then eat one date daily in the early morning. (Thanks to Dr Vasant Lad, and this one also helps with anemia)

Hot milk with a tiny pinch of nutmeg and cardomom (nutmeg is not recomended usually in pregnancy so go easy)

About Me

A blog about my adventures in Ayurveda, which includes vegetarian cooking, spices, dosha, yoga, health, tastes and stories.
I am not an Ayurvedic practitioner
(yet!) but I am trying my hardest to learn.
Not so long ago I was talking about an Ayurvedic Clinic and someone thought I was saying Diabetic Clinic. I repeated myself "A-yur-ve-dic" "Ayurwhat?..."
So I started this blog. In the hope of finding some like minded people, and creating a place where I can focus my learning.
